median band above ; tergites 1-6 also, as in insignis, with the usual 

 > < mark and with a narrow longitudinal stripe on each side near 

 the lateral border inconspicuously yellow; cephalothorax much 

 paler and more yellowish anteriorly, with a large posterior median 

 mark, an oblique mark on each side of the median tubercle and 

 various other marks inconspicuously yellow. Tail olive-greenish 

 black on the sides and below, with some obscure brownish or 

 yellowish markings, the upper surface obscurely brownish or 

 brownish yellow, infuscate along the middle; vesicle as in insig- 

 nis. Under side of trunk pale yellowish, but the last abdominal 

 sternite black. Legs pale yellow, with a few infuscate markings, 

 Pedipalps pale yellow, with large infuscate patches, the hands 

 striped and reticulated. 



Cephalothorax rather sparsely and finely granular, almost smooth 

 on the interocular area and around the median tubercle. 



Tergites almost entirely smooth, or sparsely granular laterally in 

 the posterior part of the segments ; median keel smooth. 



Sternites smooth, without trace of keels. 



Cauda relatively longer than in insignis and lineatus, the fourth 

 segment If times as long as wide ; second, third, and fourth seg- 

 ments when seen from above almost parallel-sided, scarcely at all 

 bulging convexly from before to behind ; no well-developed granular 

 crests ; the superior edges weakly subcrenular, terminating behind 

 in segments 2-3 in a low stout blunt tubercle ; the two upper lateral 

 keels also indicated in segment 1 and smooth or subcrenular ; all 

 other keels absent ; sides and under surface of segments 1-3 smooth 

 or nearly so, or the sides with a few granules ; segment 4 rather 

 weakly but thickly granular ; segment 5 more coarsely and thickly 

 granular, especially below, without trace of an edge or keel between 

 the lateral and inferior surfaces ; upper caudal surface granular 

 mesially in segment 1, smooth in the other segments ; vesicle thickly 

 granular, the tubercle below the aculeus very low, convex or almost 

 quite obsolete, never pointed or toothlike. 



Pedipalps. — Femur finely granular above ; upper surface of tibia 

 smooth, with a strip of granules along its anterior edge ; hand 

 smooth, stouter than the tibia, the dentition much as in lineatus. 



Legs. — Femora and generally also the posterior tibiae granular ex- 

 ternally. 



Pectines with 18-22 teeth, the basal one enlarged. 



Locality. — 6 ad. $ collected on the summit of the Great Winter-
